A little bit more than twenty four hours ago, Renegade Evolution posted an excellent piece on Emotional Terrorism. It turned out that her post was to be prophetic.
Donna Hughes is an academic out of Rhode Island. She campaigns tirelessly for the criminalization of prostitution in her state. Recently she has co-authored a letter in which she mounts an ad hominem attack of Elizabeth Wood from Sex in the public Square. As an academic, Hughes should know better than to make personal attacks on people who disagree with her point of view. The word unprofessional comes to mind. If the attack on Ms. Wood was a one off thing, the event could be written off as someone having a bad day. However, this type of behavior seems to be a modus operandi for Hughes.
Some of Hughes better known exploits include priceless items such as:
“Then a man reeking of cigarette smoke and other odors came forward”
“Then a tattooed woman, calling herself a “sexologist and sex educator,” spoke against the bill. She is also a reporter for a prostitutes’ magazine called $pread. (I couldn’t make this stuff up!)”
Neither can I … Here’s the link.
I cannot imagine how a person who calls herself a professional can stoop to personal insults rather than sticking to her talking points.
So now Hughes goes after Elizabeth.
Accusing Elizabeth of “crossing the line” into sex offence?
Devoting an entire paragraph to Elizabeth trying skinny dipping?
OMG DONNA!!! YOU ARE RIGHT! IF PEOPLE WERE MEANT TO BE NAKED THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN THAT WAY!!! (frakin’ prude!)
Sadly, I can only come to one conclusion regarding Donna Hughes.
She is just one more batshit crazy Radfem that should not be taken seriously.
Far better writers than I have picked up on this. Please follow the links below for more thoughts.

The Return of Kyle Payne
First, a bit about my absence, (if anyone cares). Since September of last year I have been trying to deal with two major life situations that have been consuming most of my time and energy. During my absence the world of blogging has lost some wonderful people, specifically Kim from Bastante Already and Debi Crow of the Corvid Diaries. Kim has chosen to follow other pursuits and I wish her well. Debs is not technically gone, but I get the impression that she would rather not be involved with the affairs of the dark side. Both will be missed. Needless to say, at this point in time of my life, something pretty big had to happen to make me resurface. Yesterday, Renegade Evolution had this post. Yep, Kyle Payne is out of jail and is back to his blogging bullshit.
For those just hearing about this young man, allow me to give a brief recap. Early in 2008 Eleanor’s Trousers reported on a news article about a young man ( who at the time was an RA) who had taken liberties with a passed out co-ed. This young man took photographs… Said photographs were discovered and criminal prosecution ensued. I just found a wrap up that I had previously missed over at Hoyden about Town. Take a second and read the whole thing. It is interesting to note that even Kyle Payne’s attorney called him a hypocrite.
Why is this guy important? He is a predator in the purest sense of the word. And yes, a hypocrite of the highest order. Had Payne returned to blogging about his therapy, his school, his cat or anything else I wouldn’t have a problem with it. It is his return to blogging about feminism as if nothing bad had transpired. This makes me sick. I know that he has linked to some major bloggers who are not happy to be associated with him. Look for something from Hugo Schwyzer tomorrow.
More from Ren.
Also Natalia Antonova
As I have said, Kyle Payne has every right to free speech on the web. However, if he continues to try and pass himself off as an ally of feminism, others, including myself, will call him on it.

He has returned
With less than 48 hours to go...
He's back!
If interested, back story can be found here
If I haven't mentioned this already, he's going to need all the help he can get.

Renegade Evolution
Ren has a great post up today GO-READ-RIGHT-NOW!!!
As of late, all we seem to hear about are the bad people and the horrible things that they do. Often I wonder where have all of the heroes have gone. I mean personal heroes. The people that inspire you to think about subjects that you never gave much thought to. The people who can recognize wrongs, and in their own way, try to make them right. So often their hard work goes without notice. Do you have any personal heroes? Have you let them know that you appreciate all of their efforts? Don't you think that it's about time you did?
On that note I would like to acknowledge one of my personal heroes. She may only stand oh, about four foot fourteen, and weigh in a bit over six and a half stone, but this lady packs a wallop. I really don’t think that she realizes the great group of people she has brought together and the positive changes that are occurring because of her efforts. So…
This one is for her. (Yeah, I know the song keeps saying “he”, but you get the idea)
